A heliport is a small airport suitable only for use by helicopters. Heliports typically contain one or more helipads and may have limited facilities such as fuel, lighting, a windsock, or even hangars. In larger towns and cities, customs facilities may be available at a heliport.
The early advocates of helicopters hoped that heliports would become widespread, but they have become contentious in urban areas due to the unpleasant noise caused by helicopter traffic.
In a large metropolis, a heliport can serve passengers needing to quickly move within the city or to outlying regions. Generally heliports can be situated closer to a town or city centre than an airport for fixed-wing aircraft. The advantage in flying by helicopter to a destination or even to the city's main airport is that travel can be much faster than driving. As an example, the Downtown Manhattan Heliport in New York City provides scheduled service to John F. Kennedy International Airport and is used to move wealthy persons and important goods quickly to destinations as far away as Maryland.

One of Phoenix Helicopters training flights into The London Heliport at Battersea. If you are a PPL (H) holder Phoenix Helicopters can provide training flights to take you through central London on the helicopter routes, as well as a landing at the London Heliport. Once you have landed with one of our registered pilots, and recieved the short briefing from the staff at the heliport, you will then be able to go and land in London whenever you need to. A great trip to further the skills of our PPL (H) holders.

Hi guy :) Few days ago I went for the first time at London-Barclays Heliport ("Barclays" for sponsorship reasons), and I must say this place is awesome: just a strip of water separates you and the heliport. When helicopters are landing, you can get awesome shots with the all-glass buildings in the background. This heliport is the only licensed in London, and it is mainly used by private operators. However you can sometime catch an London's Air Ambulance MD 902 Explorer, or a National Police's helicopter. Landing & takeoff rwy 20. London-Barclays Heliport, City of London, UK.

I filmed the landing after the most amazing helicopter tour in my life. The helicopter was a Bell 407 with the registration N406TD. One funny thing is that the pilot was Norwegian just like me. This was filmed in April 2011.
All dressed and no place to pretend
Everything that was ever right tastes bad again...
The ball is in your court you just cant see it
They say, "don't forget your lucky grain of salt,
and the heart to take the world by storm"
But who can kick back in a hurricane?
Don't the rules make sense?
Shrug away indifference
While some let it perforate life until all they taste is
The weight of the wind on dumb lips as they take their joyride blindfolded.
We're groping for the in-between.
Hey liberty! With life in our hands,
all that's left is to unwrap it ...all that's left is to unwrap
Its good to know for as far as the eyes may stare lies a world worth exploring.
Its good to know what you can't take back might as well be a slack knot tomorrow.
Seems right to me...
Your life is in your hands and all that's left is to unravel it...
Thread by thread, watch it unfurl at your feet
Just mind your step
